Avoid the sartorial festive rut with some pre-Christmas fashion and beauty inspiration below…

Coloured (faux) fur

Natalie Joos and Kate Moss have been seen sporting coloured fur this December. Try a Prada-eque coloured stole over a million hoodies and ripped jeans with cutesy Mary-Jane’s or make like a sugar puff in a bright fluffy coat.

Scrunchies (on your wrist)

Cara Delevingne’s MSC Scrunchie promo video with Clara Paget and Suki Waterhouse was the cherry on the hype cake:

Cocktail shiz

Rocks and LBDs are sooo 2011. Add the prefix ‘cocktail’ now to pretty much anything and it becomes Christmas party gold.

Puffer jackets

This season, Burberry have shown how a typically bulky silhouette can actually look modern. Plus it’s the closest acceptable thing to a duvet you can wear right now. Try metallic finishes and consider a belt.

And one for the New Year: Fur-effect nails

Available from the MUA Make-up Academy from January, fuzzy micro-fibres are added to wet nails and left to dry. Colours include Fluffy and Booboo fluff. A fuzzy thumbs up to 2013.
